Tenoch'S Aztec Gold

In the jungles of southern North America there are huge Aztec stone structures that were perceived by discoverers to have no useful purpose, but considering the amount of labor that was required to build these structures they must have been of tremendous importance. The Aztec society who built these structures was a society that possessed vast quantities of gold for personal apparel, religious figurines and religious ceremonies. Precious gold was there downfall the instant the nation of Spain became aware of these riches. Spanish Conquistadors came to Mexico to systematically conquer the Aztec nation and transport the gold to Spain. This fiction story is about people involved in that conquest and what a few hundred Aztecs did to preserve their religious gold figurines. The story also explores the question that if the Aztecs just disappeared, why are there millions of Mexicans of Aztec decent in Mexico today. This is a historic fiction novel based on the conquest of Mexico. The story includes Aztecs, Conquistadors, religious gold figurines and a desperate journey over hundreds of kilometers of jungle and desert to save these figurines. The story describes Hernando Cortes' extreme desire to have the gold and an equal desire by the Aztecs to keep it.
